Resources on preventing foreclosures & stabilizing communities


Across the country, states and localities are engaged in an expedited process to determine how to stabilize the communities that have been hardest hit by the mortgage foreclosure crisis.

With numerous vacant properties and more foreclosures on the way, communities are faced with important decisions about how to stabilize neighborhoods. Quick decisions were essential for using the first round of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds, distributed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A rapid response is still important now -- both for subsequent NSP rounds and for the neighborhoods in need.
